    Althouse Defends CJ Roberts, Criticizes My Slate Piece on McCutcheon
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=60055>

Posted on April 4, 2014 9:18 am <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=60055>by 
Rick Hasen <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

She concludes 
<http://althouse.blogspot.com/2014/04/i-had-never-heard-of-such-limits.html> 
about my Slate piece 
<http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2014/04/the_subtle_awfulness_of_the_mccutcheon_v_fec_campaign_finance_decision_the.single.html>:

    Having set out those 3 subtle/dramatic things, Hasen tells his
    readers not to be "fooled by Roberts' supposed restraint." I don't
    think Roberts is trying to "fool" anyone, and the modest framing of
    the opinion is real: Roberts did not elevate the level of scrutiny
    beyond "exacting" and he did not recognize a government interest
    beyond preventing bribery and /quid pro quo /corruption.

    And I don't think Roberts /purports/ to take what is traditionally
    called a position of judicial restraint, which is: deference to the
    acts of legislatures, presuming their constitutionality. Roberts is
    taking the First Amendment seriously and stepping up to the classic
    judicial role of saying what it means and enforcing constitutional
    rights. That's what typically gets called /judicial activism /by
    those who like something the legislature has done and who don't have
    much respect for the particular version of the constitutional right
    asserted in a case.

    But Hasen, who likes campaign finance reform legislation and doesn't
    respect the version of the First Amendment asserted in /McCutcheon/,
    found it hard to call Roberts activist. That's what was so
    frustrating, so devious: If you're going to be activist, be activist
    out in the open where it's easy for your opponents to attack you as
    activist. But no, /the serpent was subtle/....

A loss <https://twitter.com/KevinBogardus/status/452091455449088000>for 
all who follow money and politics. But a gain for Greenwire!

He seems

to get the less gridlock point.  Not so much the more corruption part.
